The cancer project: spread the word

While driving home late last weekend, my husband heard an ad on the radio for "The cancer project". He was surprised to hear about it on the radio. He told me all about it in the morning and we looked up the site. I was thrilled to find that someone(group) is so willing to get this information out there for free. We are a nation in need of this information. Cancer prevention, who doesn't want that? Why aren't people more willing to listen? It amazes me how many people, even my own family members, will not take it seriously. When I read and found information that would insure my families health I jumped on it. I have BRCA1 and I could easily have passed it on to my four daughters. I feel like feeding them a whole food plant based diet is just like giving them their daily dose of preventative medicine. This FREE website is all about getting the info out there. They have free recipes and books that they will send you. They only ask for donations to help support their cause. I am all for it!!

I read through the site and found Ellen Jaffe Jones wrote an article called "Beating the genetic odds". In her family there are many diseases, including breast cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Her doctors have told her it is genetic and she will have to deal with it as it comes. She decided to take the matter into her own hands and fight it with proper nutrition. (eating a WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED diet)She is by far the healthiest member of her family to this day.

we need to tell you that we are not doctors. While we stand firmly behind all the
information and research that we share with you, we are not your doctor (even though
that would be kind of fun!). Please consult with your own physician before making
any changes to your diet or that of your families. Hopefully your doctor is just
as excited about a whole food plant-based lifestyle as we are and will encourage
you every step of the way!
